CHENNAI, OCT. 10. Over 100 members of the All India Station Masters' Association staged a demonstration today near the office of the General Manager, Southern Railway, in support of a 10- point charter of demands.

The association sought favourable orders on `running allowance' and uniform, posting of supervisory station masters (SM) at all stations and welfare inspectors at all junctions, apart from streamlining payments through SMs.
